To blog or not to blog, was my one big question.
Keeping in touch on line, I thought might be one solution.
Can I reconnect with family and friends with no interruption, follow my blog and check out my life's celebration.

Sixties Sunday - Is 60 the new 50?

Is it really? I prefer that 60 is the new 40, this way I can still have many more years to enjoy retirement. My friend who is visiting will be joining the 60's club. There's a few of us that are in this group. Most of my friends, believe it or not are still in their 50's and some are in their 40's and a few are in their 30's. As most people says, age is just a number. I believe that it's all about how you feel when you reach a particular age. When we were growing up, I thought my mother looked older when she was in her 60's. But when she was in her 70's people didn't believe her age. My mom's sister is now in her 80's and she has still that special genes that makes her feel and look young. I keep telling her that I want to be just like her when I get older. Her positive attitude in life is amazing. She still loves to sing, dance and have a great time with their friends. This week I will try and make sure that my friend has a memorable birthday. Since she chose to travel the long distance to spend her birthday here in sunny San Jose. I am hoping that the weather will be warmer so she can really enjoy the warmth of the sun. Her schedule is already getting pretty busy, although she doesn't know that yet. Hanging out with her this week is like being on another holiday. I am very happy for her that she took the leap and decided to get away for a week because she really deserves it. Maria welcome to the Cranberry Portage Bed and Breakfast. Do you ever have one of those moments when you look at a photo and you say "who is that?" This is one of those moment. Who is the girl beside Maria?

Hooray for the CUBS

The World Series Champion Chicago Cubs deserve to win. It was their turn. After over 100 years, they finally have a trophy. For those who watched the nail biting 7th game, it was worth cheering for the Cubs. Although if the Blue Jays was playing, I would definitely cheer for them. The Cubs fan will definitely celebrating for days.

About Me

Retired early to enjoy life. Moved to San Jose, California to join my husband. I love music, sports, sewing, cooking, dancing and poetry.

Why Cranberry Portage?

There is a small town somewhere in Manitoba named Cranberry Portage. My husband's great grandmother owned a small property there. While looking for a recipe, I stumble on a cookbook from Cranberry Portage. During my daughter's recent visit we talk about having a name for our home which becomes a bed and breakfast for our Canadian visitor. She suggested Cranberry Portage and I loved it.So the name of my blog was born.

SPOTLIGHT- My favorite SIL

His name is Mike and I am very happy that my daughter has him in her life. There are so many qualities that Mike has that makes him my favorite son in law. Well, actually I only have one, Mike. One very funny story to share. When my daughter started dating him, she specifically instructed me that I would never shot pool with Mike. The reason behind is that the other boyfriends she dated lost against me at pool, then shortly after, they broke up. So you get it, right. To this date, I have never shot pool with Mike, and I am happy to announce that they are still very much in love and happily married. Happy birthday Mike and thank you for taking care of my favorite daughter.
